I found out by accident that if you turn off the Fog of War option the replay is also turned off. Since you are playing solo (as I do quite frequently) you really don't need to keep the Fog of War option on anyway.

ORIGINAL: DBeves Is there now an option to turn off the turn replays - most dull to sit through a turn you have just made all over again - please answer - if there is - I will buy it.

I'm not sure what the turn replays you reference are, but when I tested against the AI I only had to watch my turn unfold once.

No - what I meant was hotseat solo play - in the old games there was no way to turn off the replays in this mode. I generally still play with fog of war on when I play solo as the computer will still not allow a unit to see an enemy it cant in fog of war - but with it off I can see and shoot at anything - with cannons for example. So - with fog of war on and in hot seat play - does it still play the replays automatically.

It works like this: When you select a scenario to play you are prompted as to whether you want to play Human vs. Human, Email Opponent, etc. For solo play you need to select Human vs. Human. Below the Human vs. Human selection you'll see "Play Hotseat." To play solo click on the "Play Hotseat" phrase below and you will de-select the Hotseat option. The replay will be turned off.
